This is a HeadGum original. Previously on the HeadGum Podcast. We're going to go through, we're going to put together our best March Madness bracket together. And then in the description of this video, I'm going to link this bracket so that the listeners can create their own bracket thus including Billy I'm not gonna listen to this when it comes out I put a bunch of time and energy into this shit you put a lot of time and put the time energy to other shit the new place space for a table.

There's going to be a kitchen island. That's it. So the living room is completely empty right now. You could be on the floor. I don't have a living room. I live in, this is my studio apartment. What's that? What's that? What's that? Another week, another sore pair of cheeks from smiling, from enjoying the show, from giving it our all, from putting our fucking Don-uh-sees into this shit, right?

Our Don? Don-uh-hussy. Don-uh-hussy, yeah. That's not bad, actually. Got it. But we kind of established that Casey was kind of a Don two weeks ago, or I guess last week. I don't know. Yeah or I guess last week. I don't know.

Yeah, I think last week. So I was just kind of calling back to that, increasing the canon, letting the fans have little Easter eggs week to week. I think that's why they kind of come back. Does that make sense? Yeah, kind of like the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I pulled my own back muscle from shifting in bed.

I get that. Welcome to adulthood, Jeff. Yeah, what the fuck is this shit? I knew I had to talk to Marika about this, but yeah, I didn't think about Don. Has that happened to you guys? Like shooting pain. I definitely every single night,

my leg cramps up while I'm sleeping and it's excruciating and it takes like a minute to get out of. And that's because you have the night terrors, you have the night tremors. Yeah, it's sleep paralysis. And my demon is you, thanks for asking. I get that, I get that for sure. Emma's laughing because it's true for her.

Emma, have you ever thrown your back from just like spooning? No, not as of yet, not too spooning. Have you ever thrown your back out while spooning? I don't know what happened. I know that I woke up in the middle of the night, two nights ago, so not last night, but the night before, and was fine. And then in the morning, it was fine.

And then suddenly it was bad. So I did start chiropractic appointments because of my fucked up neck from my head injuries. Make sure it's good. Chiropractors scare me. They're not doing snap method stuff. Good. I this filmmaker that I love, Andi Timoner, she's you would actually really like her Jeff, but her dad went to a chiropractor and got his like neck aligned and and was paralyzed from the neck down. Yeah, I remember you saying that.

Oh my God. I bring it up not in freedom, I guess. Or I bring it up when appropriate. Yeah. Okay, I have an appointment after this. I think you'll be fine. Good luck. Yeah. I think you will be fine, but I just go to a good one.

He took x-rays, showed me what was wrong, did an adjustment, took another X-ray and showed me that he fixed it. Yeah, that feels... You shouldn't be getting so many X-rays. Really? This is like a different issue. No, it was like, it was spread out by a week.

No, it's too much radiation, Jeff. I know. It's hard, you know, because I'll keep a microwave open, I'll press, you know, I basically jerry-rig the shit, so I can have it add 30 seconds while the door is open while I look at it and smile. Okay. She just rolled her eyes, because she's like,

all right, I thought we were gonna talk about something real, but all right, if you wanna to go and see your stupid little jokes. I would... That's G-E-O-K-E-S, by the way. Jokes. That's good. Yeah. Maybe that could be merch or something.

I was going to say maybe that could be like a bumper sticker. Way too excited about a hat that says jokes. Maybe that could be merged or something. Like a hat. A sweat ball in here. I was trying to make us some cash. There was a couple years there, especially when we were in the shipping container loft in LA for the head gum office, where we were only dealing in cash. So like 72 and Sonny would like mail us like a briefcase.

Who? The fucking ad agencies we would work with gum road. What is it? Off road? Are you talking about like, oh, you get an away suitcase? Gumroad, what is it? Offroad? Are you talking about like, oh, you'd get an away suitcase? Yeah, because what would it be? Of cash?

Basically like an old Pontiac Trans Am would pull up and they would toss a briefcase and it was my job as an intern to grab that shit, make sure no one saw. To be clear, our door was a garage door so they could really just toss it in there. Yeah. It was cool. It was kind of, it was all off book.

It was all under the table payments from athletic greens, from fucking Squarespace. Sure. It was all this was before me and Emma. Yeah, we we I mean, it feels like we kind of turned everything around. We've got some real nice studios now. It feels like we kind of turned everything around. We've got some real nice studios now. Sure, that for sure. But like thinking about you being an intern, Jeff is crazy. Imagining something going wrong and you having to do damage control or being like. Yeah, I would also I would also say that the L.A.

interns that were at the company because they were like groups of five of them for the office. You didn't really salads every day by the way. Really didn't do much. Unpaid but it was like a fleet of interns. We got lunch every day. A fleet of interns and everyone was great. I feel like.

You don't have to say that. I know he... I mean, we can all talk about it. It was a disaster. It was a f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing We need some. We have Sage. Well, she has been promoted to assistant. Sage is in New York. We need interns in Los Angeles. This was my hot headgum summer. Yeah. Wait. Where's the photo of everyone also in a pool together?

Jeff is in the windbreaker, I think. You look like a Chad. You're so different looking there. Yeah, it's hard, because I was a Republican looker at the time. Oh, how the mighty have fallen. Jesus Christ, you look different. Who is that?

Isn't that crazy? But you also, like, you kind of look like that up until the pandemic. Plan-demic, but yeah. Because I started to read a lot of interesting forums during that, and then I forgot to get a haircut. Yeah. I read a lot of interesting forums during that, and then I forgot to get a haircut.

LAUGHS LAUGHS APPLAUSE What's your guys' favorite kind of island party? Um, say more. Like, when you're, like, on an island? OK. What's your favorite kind of festivities there?

Um, hang out in a cabana. Okay. That's good. Anything else or maybe there's like a barbecue? Maybe, I kind of enjoy the like underlying tension that no one's able to leave. Like that makes for the party. The zoom? Oh, the island, yeah.

Yeah. So if I've been, I guess I've been to an island party I feel like they're just like cook at any party you've been to in Manhattan is an island right? That's why it was first. That's where I went and then I was like and I've probably been to a more interesting thing Yeah, you also said cook out from Georgia sure I have family crab boils That's kind of gonna. What are the Maryland thing is. That's more of a Maryland thing though. That's more of a DMV, BMV thing. There's also a South Carolina thing.

Old Bay? I don't know. Not the seasoning, but like Beyonce as she ages. Got it. She wasn't there. That would be good though. Old Bay seasoning, but it's B-E-Y. And so it's just-E-Y. And so it's just like, I don't know.

Old Bay, but with like something different. Where's she from? New York? Texas? Is she from Houston? Is that why she says, this ain't Texas? Probably. That would have been a good rice song.

I guess I could still do it. I think the time has passed. Yeah. Really? I love when it's like that uncomfortable... If you make a Texas Hold'em parody in 2025, that's fine. Come on, guys. Let's fucking talk about island parties. Have you been to something where there's like people in grass skirts, where there's like certain types of...

Uh, yeah. I've been to a luau in Maui. Or to the goddamn day. Wow. Luau? In. Got it. Got it. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha What is a James Lawn? Like what would that cut be like? It's hard when you ask the follow up questions because the ideas are so half baked.

Yeah. I guess it would be like a normal lawn, but then there's like two zeros mowed into it in reverse and then a seven. Just doing donuts. Yeah. Emma? into it in reverse and then a seven. Just doing donuts. Yeah. Emma? My Bond of the Week?

Sure. What were you asking? Yeah, who's your Bond of the Week? Who's your, or are you gonna be blonde of the week? Highlights. I am kind of blonde. I got highlights. I didn't mention it, yeah. There's a lot of blonde going around the New York office.

Yeah. That's just because Will Conover keeps handing out vinyl copies of Frank Ocean LPs. Yeah. Sage's hair is getting increasingly lighter. Yeah. Will died his eyebrows, I think, too. That would actually be really funny.

We should tell him to do that. What do you guys think of that look? I'm considering, I did it a few years ago and I liked it. But it makes reactions from people in my life. But I think it's a winter, I don't think you should be bleaching your eyebrows in the summer, I think it's more of like a winter look. Is it a look? I don't know if it's good. I feel like people and look, I'm not trying to judge anybody. I just am saying sometimes I think people do things just

What's that? No, no, keep going. Why do people do things? What? Because they're awesome. And everybody's valid. That's what I was going to say. Wow. I was really, I was giving you the four. No, I don't know. I just think it's like a shock value thing.

And I'm like, I don't know if that's like, and I don't, that can mean it's cool, but I don't know if that means it looks good. Right? Definitely. But whatever makes anyone feel good is good. Yeah, I don't But whatever makes anyone feel good is good. Yeah, I don't think whatever makes anyone feel good is good. You don't think that's true?

Interesting. I'd push back on that too. How do you figure? As long as you're not hurting other people, how about that? Can we add that to the end of it? Sure. Is that making sense? Even that, because if the hurting other people

is part of it for them, I don't want to judge. Okay. That's a good, I mean, this is actually an interesting talking point, is like, at what point is it okay to judge, if ever? Is it only if you're hurting someone else? It's only okay to judge, or it's only not okay when you're hurting someone else? Is it only okay to judge someone

when they're hurting someone else? And if only okay to judge someone when they're hurting someone else? And if someone's doing something that you don't like or that you think is weird, but they're not hurting anyone, you shouldn't judge them. I probably believe that. No, I think we all need gossip in our lives. I think the fucking dyed eyebrows looks like shit. Yeah, we're talking. Like personal appearance choices. That's like, you know.

You need to find these goddamn. That's fine, whatever you wanna do is fine. Good, wrong, fine or good. Fine or good. It's fine. I'm into it now. I'm into it now, because you pushed back a little. Yeah. Okay.

Next episode, fucking dyed. Yeah. Who the hell is that? That's me with bleached eyebrows. No, that's it. Yeah, here it doesn't look bleached. That's my equivalent of... You can kind of see it there.

Well I also think your hair is light enough where it doesn't feel like such a stark difference for you. But I agree with Jeff. I guess but I have really dark eyebrows. I'm not a huge fan. My eyebrows are very uneven and so I think it made me look more symmetrical. Honestly. But I think it specifically looks good when I wore a lot of eye makeup and I don't really

wear a lot of eye makeup and so when I didn't I thought it just looked weird. So what happens after that? Do you have to dye it back or was it, did it just grow? I let it just grow in. It doesn't look like frosted tips the way you would think. It just looks like medium dark and then eventually. So eyebrows are constantly growing and shedding. Yeah, I don't know how hair just maintains its length. I think about that with all of the like shorter hairs on your body. I'm pretty sure there's DNA codes that are like, grow to this length and then stop.

That's really true. Because I've Googled that once. Speaking of DNA, I wanna DNA test my fucking fowl. Or rather cat. Why? I wanna know if she's, I to know what breed she is really bad Jim I and sorry I guess I want to know if she's show ready ready and if she could maybe produce cats that I could sell it's out it I know is it because yeah no

I just would be curious I just be curious because I could take care of her better. Health wise. Can I guess what? You may. I would guess she's half Persian, half bangle. And we can circle back when you test. Okay. I was going to say, do you guys want to place bets?

Actual cash. I think she's gonna be like over 70% just American short hair Kind of like me before I grew my hair Holy Foley what surprises you Emma? What surprises me? That's a good question. I feel like very little surprises me actually. Living in New York. It's like people will just randomly piss. My friend was telling me yesterday at house someone was coming up threatening to inject in New York. It's like people will just randomly piss.

My friend was telling me yesterday about how someone was coming up threatening to inject her with blood and he had a vial of blood and I was just like, yeah. Where? On the subway. That's a good threat. That's scary.

It's a really good threat. It's really scary. Yeah, Jesus. You really could just stick someone with a needle. I mean, you could stab anybody, but pricking them with a needle is scarier because it's like, that's a slow death, right, Marika? Absolutely.

Marika? Marika. Speak on it. But my reaction sounded awful and very scary, but I would not say surprise or like shock. We're really yeah. Yeah, I got the reaction playbook That's uh, is that the weirdest thing you've heard or experienced in New York I Don't know it depends. I think what you

What's like weird? Yeah, I don't want to hear anything that bums everybody out, I guess. I wasn't gonna bring up something that would be really upsetting. Really? Okay. Because I would have done that. I don't know if that's what comes to mind when I think of something that I'm like, it's just like, weird. Okay, what's the weirdest thing in New York?

It's like this totally brutal act, it's like weird. Weird. I mean, when the lady verbally abused me on the subway, that was weird. That was serially though, right? She would like time it where she would get on the same G train as you,

and would just kind of bully you. No, but I was like, I need to go, I need to like get a blowout and like go back to this train. I need to fucking dye my eyebrows after what that woman said to me. And be like, do you like what you see now? Is it better? Really insecure begging for approval.

She keeps moving the goalpost. It's Totally unstable. Marika's paprika! What spices is Marika using? Oh, I actually really like this question. I'm nailing it with the talking question. I think recently, I mean I've... did you guys see that article that was like, or maybe it was a video that was like, you don't need to use spices.

You just need pepper and salt. Bye. I can't. I can't remember. It was like some celebrity show for something that said it. And I was like, not really. But I do use a lot of pepper and salt and I also probably most recently used maybe like a cardamom, maybe a smoked paprika, cinnamon. Interesting. Yeah, it's probably what's been on the docket.

I have a lot of spices and I kind of garlic powder, no onion powder. I probably used garlic powder because I didn't want to like. Mince a clove of garlic. I fear for your fish that you're not including. Garam masala, but that'll be half. I have a huge container of garam masala like a cord of that means you're not including garam masala, but that'll be half the deal. I have a huge container of garam masala, like a quart of garam masala.

That means you're not using it. Having it means you don't use it. Guys, my fucking neck is fucked up. It went from your back to your neck. Well, it's from, it did. It's from like my shoulder blade in between the spine and shoulder blade up through the neck, shooting pain. Today's better than yesterday. Yeah, I was from, it did. It's from like my shoulder blade in between the spine and shoulder blade up through the neck shooting pain. Today's better than yesterday.

Yeah, I was about to say that. That's what my sister said, but I just, you know, it's hard. I had an acupuncture appointment yesterday. It was pretty good. I think there's a guy on the subway who might be willing to do it. Hey!

Whoa! We'll be right back. Doesn't that feel good when you get the joke right before the fucking ad break? Yeah. Barely chuckled. Yeah, it feels good. ["Song of the Day"] Hell yeah. Now this is a song.

God damn it. Right when I put them back on. Another good song. We don't need no omakase. We don't need no instant rice. No cooktop bomba on a weeknight Gordon Ramsay cooks rice wrong Hey Gordon leave that rice alone! All in all, it's just another grain that should scald. Ha!

All in all, I'd rather that you just eat some bran. that you just eat some bran. We don't need no soft risotto. We don't need no quinoa bowls. No mango slices on sticky rice. Trash rice made by Wolfgang Puck. Hey, Wolfgang, leave that rice alone! All in all, it's just another underburnt speck. All in all, you're just another untrustworthy chef.

Oh, you're not going to do the little skit. I have something for. Okay. Yeah. I was waiting for the skit. Sing along if you know the words. This is a karaoke version so it kind of just figures out really quickly but I'll do this sketch. Wrong!

Show the grains! Wrong! Black in a wok! If you don't scold your ream, you can't have rice pudding! How can you have rice pudding if you don't scold your ream you can't have rice pudding. How can you have rice pudding if you don't see your ream? Thank you Yeah You know it kind of feels right doing this in here because this is kind of where my girlfriend records her music

It's well, that looks pathetic. She has more. I just don't want to pick my laptop up. Oh, it had it had been a while. I like I like the inclusion of a lot of soft rices that we're saying are bad. Yeah. The sticky rice, the risotto. Yeah, instant rice, cooktop, bomba. Those aren't new, but the others were.

Cooktop is. All right, so we've had Emma, we've had Holy Foley, we've had Marika's Paprika. We've had Holy Foley, we've had Marika's Paprika. Right? Oh my God. Marika's Paprika. I had no issue with it at first. And now it's time for Casey's Crazy.

That one's just kind of an opinion of mine. Guys, we have a new fucking... zombie. Zammala Harris? That should be a new soundboard. It's Zammala Harris? Your sip. We should be a new that should be a new soundboard. Is that all there is? Your step. Look, we the last time last week, we discussed J.D.

Vance, Trump's pick, also known as 2D Vance. Kamala needs to pick a VP, obviously. She can't just not have that. Is it crazy to have Vance be the pick for both parties? I feel like a Harris Vance ticket is the winning golden. I feel like someone should write a movie about a VP candidate that has to pretend to be both candidates. That feels like a classic.

Like a Mrs. Doubtfire? Yeah, like a classic. That's crazy. Is that a movie or is that a sitcom episode? I think you can stretch that bad boy out into movie length. I think that's got 80 minutes in it. 80. At least. Really?

Sure. That's a straight to DVD movie. But now. It's still a movie. Hour 20 is great. Yeah, we love that. Who would your guys' ideal VP pick be, though? And I don't mean like a politician.

I mean, like, what about Shaquille? Shaq would be really good. Right, O'Neal? I mean, I feel like he three-peated. He could definitely handle VP-ing. Her first DJ vice president. I don't know. He could be a VJ.

Victory in Japan slash also Vice President DJ. Sure. Sure or yeah? I just fairly followed it. Yeah. I think we get Biden back in. I've seen that and that had made me laugh. Are you guys familiar with the Changi Airport in Singapore?

Not particularly. No, people purposefully spend long 12 hour layovers in this airport because it's reportedly good. Yeah, I actually have seen a lot of that content, but I don't know the name of it. It's got like a crazy. It's got like a weird rope course. It's got like a whole rope and dope. Yeah It's got like a whole rope-a-dope, yeah. Basically if you're running away. A whole rope-a-dope.

And if you have a really short ass layover, I'm pretty sure there's like fucking ropes. What is it, a fucking zip line? From terminal to terminal. Oh, I'd love a zip line. That would be really, that would be great. How many zip lines have you done, Emma? I've kind of done a lot.

Wow. I did, when I studied abroad in Peru, and I ziplined over a canyon, which now is crazy, and then I went to my friend's house upstate where you can only, they're building it, and right now it's just camping, but you have to zipline into the property.

That's so sick. You have to? How do you get back, Trek? Zipline back. No way. An uphill zipline into the property. That's so sick. You have to? How do you get back, Trek? Zip line back. No way. An uphill zip line? Yeah, you zip, well, you zip line over, you have to zip line over a stream. So if I went in the summer, we could just walk through. Oh, I get it.

But I wouldn't when it was cold. And so we had to zip line over. Over hard ice? Because you're ziplining more infrequently. Wow. Yeah. Yeah. Well, no, it's just like...

Someone's going to hurt themselves. Okay, I'll pass it on. Sorry. I want to spend as little time in an airport as possible. Really? Yeah. Why is that? I'm just trying to get home, man.

What if it's cool? Yeah. I don't think there's anything that could be in an airport that I would be like, wow, I gotta stay here another 12 hours. Even duty free, yeah. Not good enough for 12. What about the, like, was it the T something, not TVA? TWA.

Yeah, yeah. That's a cool fucking hotel. Yeah Piles obsessed with that shit. Yeah, that was right up his alley, but it is really cool. It's like No, it uh It has an intelligentsia coffee bar in the lobby and a fucking Pool that overlooks the tarmac. I mean, who says no to that? I do, I'm saying no.

Oh my god, Intelligentsia House Coffee and I don't like it. It's bad, I don't like Intelligentsia. Yeah. Oh! So offended. No, it's my fucking neck. Casey, what if the airport has a giant waterfall from the middle of it?

And it looks like she's reading like a Wikipedia article about a real airport. She's just daydreaming. I mean, I would I would walk by and go, wow, look at that. Got to get to my flight so gum podcast lip reading. You guys ready for this? I guess so. This is a new segment that I'm debuting. I asked.

A lot of our friends, colleagues and past guests to send in a clip of them saying something. And we basically are going to go clip by clip and try to lip read what they said. Does that sound like fun? I love, by the way way I love that you're using VLC yeah it's hard okay ready yes is it something that makes sense or is it something you would say? I would say it's like normal English, yeah.

Also maybe I missed it, but is it something you told them to say or are they choosing the words? I just asked people to send in a clip. Got it. Of like saying a sentence and I said keep it kind of short. Some people, like Joel sent one in and his is way too long But we'll just figure that out. All right ready. Yeah I think your name right? I think so too. That's why I was about to say okay, okay What are you? I don't see anything what's going on show Marika? Yeah show

Something I don't know what. I'm only looking at you guys. I don't know what to do with that. That's on your end for sure. Did you put something in the chat? No, we're sharing the screen. Easy. I'm looking at a regular Zoom meeting of just you guys. All right. This is going to have to be some weird tertiary element to the segment or something.

That's not right. No, just reshare your screen. Okay. There we go. Okay. One last time. Okay. Yeah, show Marika.

I don't know. You don't know? It kind of looks like I feel seen. Okay. I was going to say feels like. I think feels is enough. Okay, show Marika feels like. Okay.

I haven't a like. Okay. Having a clue. Okay, are you guys ready to just hear what she has to say? You guys give up? The final sentence that we put together is, to show Marika feels like. Here we go. To know Marika is to know what it feels like

to not want to know Marika. Also, I don't feel that way So you did write it I Just asked people to send clips in Well, we were we kind of got there we got that was impressive All right. Number two. Ready? Yeah. Kind of looked like it kind of looked like he said bake off at one point. I'm really bad at this. OK, first, let's go word by word.

Elizabeth Holmes. OK, well, that's good. I just look like fake off. Back off Bernie Elizabeth Holmes, Marika Bake Off. No, Marika, what were you going to? I was gonna say, Bernie Madoff. Okay. That kind of looked like my name again, but I don't want to be that person.

That's like, everything's about me. Okay. What about this last part? Fuck. I think. Yeah, I can't figure out what the end is. All right. So our final submission is Elizabeth Holmes, Bernie Madoff, Marika Brownlee, I think.

Elizabeth Holmes, Bernie Madoff, Marika Brownlee, I think you catch my drift. Oh my god. Pretty good. Wow. That was awesome. So it's not something normal that people would say. That was very mistaken. And it's clearly bad for me because I'm being compared to Bernie Madoff and Elizabeth Holmes.

I said, send in a sentence that you feel comfortable being on air that you want put out there. Here we go It's my name again, I Got that I or I'm Stop pausing it there. Okay. Try to think succession.

About it at the end? No, it's my name again. The last part. So I'm not this is not my thing, man. Call you guys can cry uncle when you give up. I've watched these. OK. OK. I motion for a vote of no confidence against Marika Gowdy. So we didn't get that one. Yeah, I could not, couldn't do motion.

Got it. All right. Next one. Something Marika can do. I don't even want to. I don't think Marika can. Zunkle? Yeah. I don't even work at Headgum and I know Marika's gotta go. Yeah. We got close there a little bit. Here we go.

Yeah, we got pretty close. As crazy as I can hear the accent. Yeah. Do we even want to go with this one? There is an accent barrier. I don't remember what she said, actually. Play it one more time. This whole something... Uh...

This whole something... I don't know, I saw my name, but... I don't know why you keep assuming that your name isn't this shit. Here we go. There's an ocean between me and Marika, and that's not quite comfortable enough. Where did she record it? Why is she whispering? Love. Love. Love. Love. Love. Love. Love. Love. Love.

Love. Love. Love. Love. Love. Love. Love. Love.

Love. Love. Love. Love. Love. Love. Love. Love.

Love. Love. Love. Love. Love. Love. Love. Love. Love. Love. I Something something Murray, I agree with you guys Is that your final answer one more time? You guys can also just throw out guesses if we're just gonna give up at some point. I just, uh, it's like, right. I approve of something and that's Marie. Yeah, I would

have to guess pile. Piles probably saying something positive about Marika. No, I don't think that I think he's like, no, because well, you got to think about it from Jeff's point of view or like pile and pile would be on Marika's side. I moved upstate because of Marika. Yeah, I knew it was like he did something or something because of. Holy shit. This is so fucked up. So zoomed in.

Ready? Marie, Casey, you can't you're disqualified for this. I don't even remember what I said. Marika should quit. Yeah. Is that your final answer? Yeah. That's my final answer. Marika shouldn't grin. Oh, wow. Casey, how dare you?

I swear to God, I was like, Casey, whenever you have the chance, send in like a one-sentence thang. That's what it is. Yeah. I'm going to go with Marika. I'm going to go with Marika. I'm going to go with Marika. I'm going to go with Marika. I'm going to go with Marika. I'm going to go with Marika. I'm going to go with Marika. Oh, wow. Casey, how dare you? I swear to God, I was like, Casey, whenever you have the chance, send in like a one sentence thing. That's what he does.

Ready? I should screen cap that. Mariko would be there to vote for. That's pretty good so far, here we go. What is, sorry, Johnny's doing so much like acting with his hands. Yeah. Yeah.

He's like a DreamWorks character. He's like a sleep paralysis demon. If something were to be a movie, Marika would be there. Blah, blah, blah. If the headgum staff were cast in a movie, Marika would be the character you root for to fail. Yeah, I knew there was the end. Wow, not Ferris. Here we go. This one's really tough because you can't even see his upper lip.

Yeah. My name is first. It's like Marika something. I feel like this one's readable, but I also know what it says. I don't. He says like, so I would something at the end. Marika unites enemies. Her failures are our triumphs. This is so unreadable. Here we go.

I barely know Cory. This is why he has even more beard than Ferris. But he's further away. Yeah, and in a bathroom. Okay, that's true give up yeah no idea I once again saw my name but you can either have dinner with Marika or been long. Tough choice, right? Waiting to... So this is the one that Joel sent in where he doesn't even voice one of the words. But let's try and get it.

Because he was embarrassed. Just, well, you'll see. Not allowed to say the word in an airport, I'm guessing. Waiting to board. Just well, you'll see not a lot of say the word in the airport. I guess the word. I think you can get that last that first part. Waiting to board shit flight. That's funny. OK, waiting to board.

Wait, wait. I like something about the runway. On the runway. Leading the board at JFK because Marika called in once again, she's tormenting New York. This has to stop. Honestly, good acting from Joel. Joel killed it. It's just not readable. Yeah, that was a little hard.

Hard to hear, hard to read. You know what? The Bernie Madoff, the Elizabeth Holmes one. By the way, I condemn this. I think this was fucked up of everyone, including Casey, shame, foreshame. But yeah, let us know in the comments if you liked that segment or if it was mostly awkward pauses.

I think it's gonna be, it's better, it's a good video segment. Yeah, most of our listeners still stick with the audio, I'm pretty sure. Guys, let's wrap it up by talking about some baby names that we would want to name our fucking kin. I'll start, what about Pele James? Sort of a Brazilian woe. Yeah. Actually Brazilian woe isn't bad. I wasn't even minding. Brazilian woe James. Not James.

Just Brazilian woe. Got it. New last name which is legal to do. Casey? I've always liked Dracula. Dracula Donahue? Yeah, that's good. For a boy or a girl.

Yeah. What'd you say? It's a double D. Hey, come on. Emma? I saw an Instagram video recently that I really liked where it was like a woman talking about what she would want to name her babies. And she basically said every word that exists that is in a name, including all of the months

and all of the days of the week. Yes. One child for every month. Saturday. Yes, that was on the list. She's like, you know, also like Tuesday. I'll have one child for every month. Yes, that was on the list. She's like, you know what? Also like Tuesday, and that reminds me

another incredible name, Wednesday. Man, I'm mad at it. Thursday is also really compelling. It was the best thing I've ever seen. I just realized a great name. What about Friday? Monday is a good ass name. Tuesday wouldn't mind that name.

Friday, I'm in love with that name. What about Sandy? I don't like that. Yeah, it makes me think of a dog. What about the dog from Andy? Annie. Jim is fine. But but Gemma? The dog from Andy. Annie. Gemma's fine. But, sorry, but it's G-E-O.

Geoma. Not Geoma. That would be like a mix between Gemma and Gianna. Yeah. What about Kasha? So it's like Keisha, but rich. Kasha, Kashiashi like the cereal go cash James go go cash II James what? What about sedentary?

Sedentary Vance And finally I would pitch Brown Jordan. Like the furniture. Jordan's furniture? Brown Jordan is a furniture brand. They make outdoor patio stuff. Got it. Yeah, it's on Craigslist all the time

when you're trying to find an outdoor table. What about like Pear? I don't mind Pear. I wouldn't even mind Pear Brownlee. And the stutter is spelled in to the last name. It's not the same. What about James D. Vance?

And so the last name comes first and the D stands for yeah, dance. Dance, dance, dance, dance, James dance, dance, Charles dance, dance. Because then it could be Chuck E.D. Which isn't a pun or anything, just kind of awesome. He was saying, I named my child Charles, Charles Tanfance, to be like, it's so I can call him Chucky Day. It's so funny. Plugs, what do we have?

What do we want to point the people towards? Emma got the pre-break joke and the end button of the fucking episode What do you guys have going on? Marieke Lana letterbox. Let me guess. Yeah When is this coming out Next Friday Okay, then Listen to thanks dad next Friday. Okay, then listen to Thanks Dad, Ego Wodum's new podcast premiering September 9th
